The velocity and temperature conditions in the space surrounding a single nozzle discharging hot pas vertically downwards on to a horizontal surface have been studied. Except at very loii exit velocities, the amount of recirculation to an intake situated on the axis of the jet is small. Within limits , the d;rnamic head at ground level at a point away .-,.>(0 i 'li-from the axis is indepenknl o...

The boundary layer flow and heat transfer on a stretched surface moving with prescribed skin friction is studied for permeable surface. The surface temperature is assumed to vary inversely with the vertical direction x for n = -1. The skin friction at the surface scales as (x) at m = 0. The constants m and n are the indices of the power law velocity and temperature exponent respectively. Simila...

The paper addresses the effects of Soret on unsteady free convection flow of a viscous incompressible fluid through a porous medium with high porosity bounded by a vertical infinite moving plate under the influence of thermal radiation, chemical reaction, and heat source. The fluid is considered to be gray, absorbing, and emitting but non-scattering medium, and Rosseland approximation is consid...

The present study examines the linear instability characteristics of double-diffusive mixed convective flow in a vertical channel with viscosity stratification. fluid is modeled as an exponential function temperature and concentration, activation energy parameter determining its sensitivity to variation. Three scenarios are considered: buoyancy force due thermal diffusion only, solute acting sa...

We examine the effect of magnetic field on boundary layer flow of an incompressible electrically conducting water-based nanofluids past a convectively heated vertical porous plate with Navier slip boundary condition. A suitable similarity transformation is employed to reduce the governing partial differential equations into nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically...

This paper investigates the influence of melting and thermo-diffusion effect on natural convection heat and mass transfer from vertical flat plate in a non-Newtonian fluid saturated non-Darcy porous medium. The wall and the ambient medium are maintained at constant but different levels of temperature and concentration such that the heat and mass transfer occurs from the wall to the medium. The ...

The effect of thermal radiation on steady hydromagnetic heat transfer by mixed convection flow of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid past an exponentially stretching continuous sheet is examined. Wall temperature and stretching velocity are assumed to vary according to specific exponential forms. An external strong uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the s...

This paper investigates the influence of double dispersion and viscosity on natural convection heat and mass transfer from vertical cone in a non-Darcy porous medium saturated with non-Newtonian fluid. The surface of the cone and the ambient medium are maintained at constant but different levels of temperature and concentration. The Ostwald-de Waele power law model is used to characterize the n...

Thermo-diffusion effect on free convection heat and mass transfer from a vertical surface embedded in a liquid saturated thermally stratified non Darcy porous medium has been analyzed using a local non-similar procedure. The wall temperature and concentration are constant and the medium is linearly stratified in the vertical direction with respect to the thermal conditions. The fluid flow, temp...

A numerical solution for the free convective, unsteady, laminar convective heat and mass transfer in a viscoelastic fluid along a semi-infinite vertical plate is presented. The Walters-B liquid model is employed to simulate medical creams and other rheological liquids encountered in biotechnology and chemical engineering. This rheological model introduces supplementary terms into the momentum c...
